Pak govt ensuring that Imran remains in prison

On August 5, 2023, a local court in Islamabad found former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, guilty in the Toshakhana case and arrested him from his residence in Zaman Park, sending him to prison. Once an undisputed king of the cricket world and later the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran now faces numerous difficulties in prison. The current government is ensuring that Imran remains in prison for as long as possible. Despite being acquitted of three charges, he is repeatedly entangled in various minor cases to keep him behind bars, as his release could pose a challenge to the government.

Under 24-hour surveillance by intelligence agencies and with no permission to meet anyone, he has stated that he is being treated like a terrorist and that the government's plan is to eliminate him in prison.
